Detroit Tigers ace David Price was in Omaha, Neb., on Wednesday night and watched alma mater Vanderbilt lose to Virginia, 4-2, in the third and deciding game of the College World Series.

Why, yes, according to a tweet by Price very early today: "Even though we lost the trip and experience was worth it!! #omaha is a cool city and I look forward to coming back!!"

That's the best pro athlete testimonial for Omaha since Peyton Manning.

The timing of the final was perfect for Price, even if the outcome wasn't. His last start was Tuesday — a win at Cleveland — and his next one is Sunday, back in Detroit in the series finale against the Chicago White Sox.

ESPN's cameras spotted him in the stands Wednesday night, despite his sunglasses and backward cap — according to ncaa.com, it was while a Vanderbilt player's parents were being interviewed in the row behind him — and he also was interviewed on the big screen at the stadium.

And since he was outed like that, he also spent much of the game like any true modern baseball fan: tweeting.
